Problem dream meaning is explained below using 2 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Nancy Wagaman

A particular problem (real-life, feared, or imagined).

A feeling or fear of being challenged somehow.

Feeling held back or encountering an obstacle in real life, or a fear of such.

Trying to solve a problem can represent a desire for a real-life solution, feeling stressed, being in “problem solving” mode (perhaps due to your activity earlier in the day), experiencing extra energy during the dream state.

Consider also whether this could have been a Toxic Dream, which often involves dealing with a stressful problem.
